Survival Tale on a Deserted Island: I and Airline Stewardess

32.Viper

We quickly returned to the cave. At this point, Su Jie and Li Lin went out again to search for food, leaving only Qianyi and Xu Xiaorong inside.

I called them over, organized the reeds, and then, carrying an axe, I took Hu Yijian out. We walked to a nearby small forest, where I cut some small trees and then went to the bamboo grove to cut two bamboo shoots.

Hu Yijian and I carried these things back to the cave. In times like this, Hu Yijian had some usefulness, serving as half a laborer and making use of the waste.

"Xiaowei, you're back!" I heard Li Lin's voice as soon as I returned.

She and Su Jie were also back, bringing back quite a few fruits, two fish, and some clean water. Li Lin greeted me warmly, offering to help me carry things. She even handed me a small handkerchief to wipe the sweat from my forehead, showing great consideration. This made me feel very pleased.

"Lin'er is really thoughtful." I couldn't help but praise her.

Li Lin blushed and smiled, while Xu Xiaorong sneered and said, "Oh, you've known each other for such a short time, yet you're so intimate. Li Lin, do you really think it's necessary to please that country bumpkin? I kindly remind you, don't let him take advantage of you while the rescue team is still two days away. You might regret it for a lifetime!"

Su Jie, upon hearing her words, revealed a meaningful smile, looking at both me and Li Lin.

Listening to Xu Xiaorong's words, I felt a sense of displeasure. "Miss Xu's words are too harsh. Does everyone have to treat me like you do, aloof and indifferent, for you to be happy? What's wrong with Li Lin caring more about me? There's no need to say such things about her, right?"

Li Lin felt wronged, threw down the reeds in her hands, and hurriedly rushed out of the cave.

"Look at what you've done!" I angrily said to Xu Xiaorong.

Xu Xiaorong seemed to realize that things had escalated. There was a hint of regret in her eyes, but with her strong personality, she refused to admit her mistake. She snorted coldly and turned her face away.

Xu Xiaorong had really angered me this time. After scolding her, I followed Li Lin outside. Li Lin ran very fast, and when I went out, her slender figure had already flashed into the nearby small forest. She headed towards the beach, making me a bit worried because I had seen a large python there this morning. I was afraid she might encounter danger, so I quickly chased after her.

Fortunately, Li Lin didn't run too far. I caught up with her quickly and found her squatting next to a moss-covered stone, sobbing quietly. Li Lin was a gentle girl, and seeing her cry in this way, hiding behind the stone, evoked a sense of pity. I walked up, gently embracing her delicate shoulders, and a faint fragrance intoxicated me. I couldn't help taking a deep breath.

"Lin'er, don't be sad. Miss Xu is just wealthy, with a strong personality and a bit harsh in her words. But she doesn't have any bad intentions. Just treat it as if she farted." I comforted her.

"Yeah, I also think she doesn't seem like a good person. Be careful, guard against her!" Li Lin sniffled and smiled, nodding vigorously, holding onto me.

Feeling a bit of a headache, I thought of the saying "three women make a drama." Now, there were four women on the island, and things seemed to be getting more complicated. Just as I was lost in my thoughts, Li Lin suddenly let out a panicked moan. Her face turned pale, and she clung tightly to me. I was stunned, and when I looked down, I saw a vibrant green poisonous snake slipping away from behind Li Lin and disappearing into the grass.

"My back hurts so much, like I was bitten by something!" Li Lin whispered. Her gaze happened to catch sight of the emerald-green snake slithering through the bushes.
